  • All indoor areas in which the individual has been will be closed for 24 hours for cleaning and disinfection.

  • The individual’s club, in consultation with the state or local health department, will conduct a contact tracing investigation.

  • Anyone identified in the contact tracing investigation will immediately quarantine and be tested one or more times on a schedule to be determined by the team physician. 

Testing Announcements

As the 2021 season continues, the USL will make a central announcement of COVID-19 test results on a weekly basis to continue to support competition integrity and transparency.
